Bizzell's Back

Featured Replies

Posted

After the last couple of games, thought it was worth mentioning the great efforts of Clint Bizzell. He has been outstanding these last couple of weeks.

Anyone else think he's a welcome return to the team down back? Felt sorry for him taking a shot at goal today....although he went down back and did a superb job.

Well done Bizz. ;)

 
 

is there a spot for him down back though, when rivers, whelan and bartram are all in the team, considering that wheatley and bell have seemed to cement a spot, along with carroll and holland (for the rocca's and tredders of this world)?

plaed well today, he picks the ball up lceanly in contested situations to drive it forwad

very work-man like, got a lot of time for him...


Bizzell played a great game today.

Along with Holland he was the best defender.

Not only were his disposal, judgment and on-field directions good he did well on on two different sized / style of players in Medhurst and Cloke when on them.

I don't think Holland will play much (as you said, he's there for particular match-ups).

I'd also prefer Wheatley play along the wing, so there's not necessarily direct competition there if Wheatley gets to play a more attacking role.

I think there's probably a spot for him providing he plays good footy.

How much better did we look with Wheatley taking the kick-ins today instead of Trav? It was like I was watching a different team today the way we brought it in after behinds.

ahh..another Wheaters for kickins admirer :-) I agree.. a huge difference

It helped that Collingwood pretty much let us run our dual-huddle plan without sending some outriders to either side of the first huddle. It was far too easy for one of our players to break from the huddle and once they did they just kept going and the ball was put out in front of them - no hope for their opponent.

Watching other games this year oppositions teams tend to sit guys outside the huddle to prevent those early breaks, but Collingwood didn't do this.


His kicking in is fantastic, I don't know how some of you were bagging him

What made you feel sorry for him?

Bizz was terrific yesterdat, really enjoyed his efforts the last couple of weeks. I flinched for him when that maggot Holland nearly killed him at CHB considering his previous injuries.

Slightly off topic but I think our back 6 are flying at the minute. Wheats has been a welcome return with his kicking be a real bonus but I think his preparedness to run and take the game on has been fantastic. He got caught once in the middle of the ground yesterday but he is playing with confidence at the moment and taking the game on at every oppurtunity as a player with pace and a thumping boot should do.

On top of that Daniel Bell has definitely taken the next step. I think I actually heard the penny drop when he was checking Scott Welsh last week and he confirmed that belief for me yesterday getting the better of Collingwoods best player.

bizz did well today. i thought a couple of his kicks didnt hit targets but im not complaining, however im still unsure if there is a spot for him and rivers in the same team. if they do play in the same team i think frawley will have to miss out and personally id rather see frawley getting a go.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
